Any advice on where to hard wire a dash cam into the 2024 vehicle? The parking surveillance needs constant power while the dash cam is on a switched circuit. Cheers,
Doug

Hi. Your vehicle has a front facing camera located near your rear view mirror. You can put an SD card in the slot on the left in the glove box and use the PDR and continually record everything from the time you start the car .
Performance Data
Recorder (PDR)
If equipped, the PDR icon displays on the
infotainment home screen.
Important Information
Use of the PDR may be prohibited or legally
restricted in certain countries and situations.
Ensure compliance with applicable laws and
regulations, including, but not limited to:
privacy laws, laws related to camera
surveillance and recordings, road traffic and
security laws, and laws on the protection of
publicity and personality rights.
. Do not use the PDR if it causes
distraction.
. Do not rely on camera footage to steer
the vehicle.

. Comply with any notice and consent
requirements before capturing and/or
recording the voices or images of other
persons or before collecting other
personal data.
. Notify other drivers of your vehicle about
the above rules and require them to
comply.
. General Motors does not accept any
responsibility or liability in connection
with use that is not permitted.
. Law enforcement authorities may have
the right to seize video recordings and
use them as evidence of criminal/driving
offenses against you or third parties.
The PDR records video, audio, and vehicle
data. The forward facing video and cabin
audio are captured by a camera and
microphone located behind the rear view
mirror. The PDR video and data is stored on
a removable SD card located in the SD card
reader in the glove box. The video (MP4)
can be played back in the vehicle or the SD
card can be removed and played on a PC or
a mobile device, or the file can be viewed
and analyzed within Toolbox. See Toolbox
later in this section.
The recorded data is not stored anywhere
else and is only accessible from the SD card.
To optimize PDR performance, format the SD
card on a regular basis. Back up all
recordings on the SD card before formatting.
Formatting the SD card will delete all saved
recordings.
If a system error code appears on the
display, such as "System Error Code ####,”
please check the condition of the SD card.
It may need to be reformatted or replaced.
If the issue persists, please see your dealer.
To begin, insert an exFAT formatted SD card,
Class 10 required, 16 GB or larger
recommended, into the glove box SD card
reader.
Touch the PDR icon to access the PDR menu.
Touch the PDR tab. The options
displayed are:
Start Recording
If the system is unable to begin recording,

the Start Recording button is , ( it’s all in the owner manual)

I think he's looking for an "always hot" for a surveillance camera.
 
Thank you for your help. I thought tapping into the “cigar lighter” in the front passenger side would provide me with the switched power l need for the camera side of the dash cam. For constant power l considered the frunk “cigar style lighter” circuit for the movement/surveillance portion, but l can’t identify what electrical fuse it is. Again thanks for your assistance.
Cheers, Doug
